So, today (20th), the government announced additional measures to protect against quarantine over the next two weeks.

There are some things you need to know in advance.

First of all, there is a Chuseok, so the distance between the non-metropolitan areas is also extended for another week in two stages.

And I can't sit and eat food at the highway rest area.



Reporter Shin Seung-i organized these contents.

number of confirmed patients in the non-metropolitan area increased to 121 on the 27th of last month, but this weekend fell below 20.



It is similar to the first stage of social distancing, but the quarantine authorities have decided to extend the second stage.



Above all, we considered the fact that the Chuseok holiday is ahead.



[Park Neung-hoo/Minister of Health and Welfare: Considering that the Chuseok holiday is only a week left, it is likely that the risk of distancing confusion and spreading outbreaks will be higher than the benefits of a week's distance easing.]



This corona re-proliferation is over. Even if it goes through the Chuseok holiday, the third epidemic may begin in the fall, and to prevent this, he said special quarantine during the Chuseok period is important.



As a result of the Korea Transportation Institute survey, the average daily travel during Chuseok is expected to decrease by 28.5% compared to the last Chuseok.



In addition, as it is expected to use private vehicles rather than public transportation, the quarantine authorities plan to strengthen management of highway rest areas and drowsy shelters.



The entrances and exits inside the rest area were separated, and instead of meals, only packing was allowed.



[Park Neung-hoo/Minister of Health and Welfare: Those who use private vehicles should prepare enough water and snacks before departure, and minimize the time spent at rest areas, such as taking a break in the vehicle.] The



quarantine authorities also reduced railroad seat sales by 50%. It was decided to limit it to and recommend window seat reservation for buses and passenger ships.



Until the 29th, we have decided to check the quarantine situation at more than 200 traditional markets at once.
